AILU Workshop – Micro Drilling

Sponsored by Luxinar

Introduction

Chair: Mike Wakeham (Winbro)

The latest laser sources bring higher power and ultrashort pulse widths.  These parameters increase the quality and throughput of laser drilling in a number of materials including metals and glass. Automotive, medical device, semiconductor and consumer electronics manufacturers are looking for this quality and speed. Small hole diameters and minimal heat input (low distortion) are benefits that laser micro drilling can bring.

Learn from a range of presenters who are using and manufacturing solutions in micro laser drilling. If you are contemplating the use of laser micro drilling in manufacturing or research, this workshop is for you. 

Meet laser drilling application experts and suppliers over this full day workshop. The venue is a short walk from Luxinar’s UK facility. During the event there will be a networking lunch where a few exhibitors will be available to discuss the products and services they offer.

At the end of the workshop there will be a short tour of Luxinar’s facility.  A live “remote” demonstration of their lasers in action will also be included in the agenda for the day.
